Not really. Your mom is over quite enough to make my fears mute.

Being alone. You're a mod, you should be used to that.

Check the size with the population, also I acknowledge it is a small town population wise but I live in a county with almost 1,000,000 people and I still NEVER hear gunshots, never hear about murders or anything.
Well then it must not happen since you didn't hear or read about them. Here's the reality: Gun violence is big in the United States. That is a fact. We're talking ~12,000 deaths a year. You "never hearing gunshots" is pretty irrelevant.

I wouldn't call 30,000 people tiny.
I would. Seriously >30,000 people is a small town. 30,000 people in 8 square miles isn't a lightly populated town, on top of that it is within a county that has 700,000 people. Also, me hearing or not hearing gunshots is quite relevant, I've never heard a gunshot other than at the range or something similar. It is VERY relevant because people like you fail to take into account the vast majority of gunshot victims were tied in with drugs, gangs, or other similar activities. You rarely hear of people walking around killing people for fun,when that happens it is the top story across almost every news channel.
